"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Simple Thing Go a Long Way in Africa!






We have been looking for ways to significantly Help the poor in Africa.
Something that was
1. Simple - easily used and maintained. Even kids could do it.
2. Economical - A modest investment that provides long term Sustainability.
3. Easily Repeated/Scalable Locally: Easily transferred to other villages without outside funding.

We finally found the single best way to help the bottom billion poorest people on earth. Most of whom are subsistence farmers. We have been doing this since 2009. However, we are now scaling up for a massive project in Mali.

These simple kits doubble the income for $1 a day families in Mali. Bringing food security into a region with 8 months of drought, next to the Sahara Desert.
